The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to use digital technology to improve defence outputs.

Answered by Maria Eagle

Defence’s goal is to continually evolve a secure, singular, modern Digital Backbone to connect sensors, effectors, and deciders across military and business domains and with partners, driving integration and interoperability across domains and platforms. Through this, we are exploiting digital technology and data to revolutionise warfare and transform defence.
